Abstract

The invention relates to a terahertz sensor based on a ring gate MOSFET structure. The grid of the ring gate MOSFET structure is bent to surround a source so as to form a ring, and a drain is distributed at a periphery. Compared to a conventional straight gate MOSFET structure, the ring gate structure reduces the area of the source and decreases source end parasitic capacitance. When a terahertz waveband is detected, the ring gate MOSFET structure can obtain greater voltage response (RV) and smaller nose equivalent power (NEP) than an equivalent straight gate MOSFET structure.
